Volleyball Takes Home Win in Shut Out Against UW-Stout

Duluth, Minn. – The Saint Scholastica volleyball team hosted a non-conference opponent, the Bluedevils of the University of Wisconsin-Stout today, Tuesday, October 7 in a thrilling shut-out victory for the Saints.

How it Happened

First Set
The opening set was a battle, as both teams traded points deep into extra play. The Saints relied on steady play from setter Natalie Yackley (New Ulm, MN/New Ulm HS), who distributed the ball beautifully, totaling 37 assists on the night. Outside hitter Lindsey Baribeau (Biwabik, MN/Mesabi East HS) led the offensive charge early, powering through with several key kills that helped the Saints edge out a 28–26 victory to take control of the match.

Second Set
Momentum stayed with the Saints in the second set. Abby Zins (Chisago Lakes, MN/Chisago Lakes High School) provided a spark at the net with strong attacking and blocking, converting efficiently with nine kills on the night while hitting an impressive .286.
